Turn off your “a year ago” algorithms, Google, Facebook, etc.

Holy fucking shit, the last thing I or anyone else on this planet needs is a popup saying “Revisit what you were doing March 10, 2020”. Going into quarantine? Stock market crashes that made 1929 blush? Yeah, no, I’m good.

Please, please, please, Big Tech, have a heart for a change and don’t try to remind billions of people on Earth of when Life as We Know It ended and the new normal began. Mask-faced selfies, pictures and pictures and pictures of my house, screenshots of Zoom call fails and technical issues? Miss me with your enforced nostalgia.
